In cherries, flower buds are usually placed on young twigs, often between biennial and annual wood.The buds in these places can be so densely clustered that such twigs are often referred to as bouquet. The aim of the pruning will therefore be to keep the crown small and with as many young branches as possible.
There should be as few thick, strong branches as possible. The ideal situation is when the boughs are not evenly strong, and only the fruit-bearing branches on them, but directly the branches with fruits. If the side branch reaches more than half the diameter of the conductor, it should be firmly cut into the pin.
It is important to cut the cut properly, i.e. always leave a 20-centimeter piece of branches.Young twigs will start to grow out of the buds, which will make the old branch easy way replaced with young, productive branches with fruit.
In the proper management of cherries, the cutting time is also important.The best pruning time is in the summer, i.e. when we collect the fruit.The treatment does not stimulate the growth of trees, but allows the inside of the crown to be illuminated.
So you can combine cherry pruning with harvesting. So let's not be afraid to trim the whole boughs with fruit.If we do it delicately, we will pick from the ground all the fruit that so far was too high to be picked.
